Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the dense mountain ranges of western Fujian and the breathtaking karst topography as you enter Guangxi province. It provides a better view of the northern cityscape of Xiamen upon departure and the dramatic Liu River loops when approaching Liuzhou.

Xiamen Urban Heart
A fantastic view of the Huli and Jimei districts' architecture during the initial climb.
Western Fujian Highlands
Fly over the lush, high-altitude ridges of the Daiyun and Wuyi mountain extensions.
Hezhou Karst Forest
As you enter Guangxi, the terrain transitions into sharp, iconic limestone peaks.
Liu River Horseshoe
The winding 'U' shape of the Liu River as it wraps around the city of Liuzhou.
Bailian Karst Peaks
Sharp limestone towers surrounding the Liuzhou airport during the final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent. For the best photography of the karst mountains, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you. Look out for the Wanlv Lake area while passing through Guangdong for a glimpse of deep blue water amidst the green hills.

Xiamen-Kinmen Strait
Upon takeoff, see the coastal waters and the silhouette of Kinmen Island to the southeast.
Zhangzhou Lowlands
View the sprawling agricultural plains and the Jiulong River delta shortly after departure.
Wuzhou River Junction
The confluence of the Xun and Gui rivers near the border of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Southern Nanling Slopes
Continuous views of the southern foothills of the Nanling mountain range.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is better for spotting the coastline early in the flight, but may miss the most dramatic karst formations on the descent into Liuzhou.
